Description

That would be a nice way to see all your mail correspondence with that specific person (from, to and cc). Straight from the Contacts menu just having an action of showing the emails with that person.

In the background it would probably be a search for that person’s email address (or multiple, if they have more).

It’s a nice way to integrate with the rest of Nextcloud. What do you think @nextcloud/mail?
